Counting Unique Users for Events with Different Attributes | Mixpanel Community

Counting Unique Users for Events with Different Attributes

·Nov 28, 2025 10:24 AM·

If I have a event which is triggered by the same user 2 times but with different attributes , will both of these events counted or only the first would be registered. I am measuring unique users here.

When you use “Uniques” as the counting method, Mixpanel counts unique users (distinct_id), not unique event instances.So if the same user (same distinct_id) fires the same event twice with different properties, then: - Both events are ingested and stored (they are not deduplicated just because properties differ). [Event deduplication] - In a report using Uniques, that user will still be counted as 1 unique user for that event, because uniqueness is based on distinct_id. [Identity overview; Reports filters]If you switched the counting method to Totals, then both event occurrences would be counted (2), even though they’re from the same user.
kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.

Raghav K. One one of it would be counted, until unless you breakdown by that attribute.
